Key Summary
About: Dominican College’s Bachelor of Arts in Social Science gives a broad, interdisciplinary foundation across at least three disciplines: economics, history, political science, criminal justice, psychology, and sociology/anthropology. The programme teaches integrated concepts and research methods, offers internships with many New York City placements, and reflects the college’s Catholic Dominican values. Admissions require transcripts, SAT or ACT, TOEFL if English isn’t first language (iBT 80 / paper 550 / cbt 213), and a recommended interview.
Career Outcomes: Graduates may work in public policy, research, community development, criminal justice support, social services, nonprofit management, or human resources, or pursue graduate study.
Students who pursue the major in Social Sciences gain a broad-based education that includes experience with at least three of the principal social science disciplines: Economics, History, Political Science, Criminal Justice, Psychology, and Sociology/Anthropology.
At the same time, the major is designed to provide interdisciplinary, integrated experiences that, while capitalizing on the strengths of each of the disciplines involved, help students to perceive the concepts and methodologies which underlie and integrate the fields.
The College has an extensive existing array of internship sites and additional locales are added according to student interests. With New York City so close, there are many diverse internship possibilities.
